This study aims to find the most effective method in terms of clinical working time when applying fibreglass splints in the lower frontal group, depending on the type of composite material used. We have selected a group of 30 patients, aged between 50 and 70, with an average age of 57, in the interval March 2016 - June2017. These patients received immobilisations as part of their periodontal treatment, using a system consisting of fibreglass and three different types of composites. The shortest work time was obtained when using the Grandioso heavy flow composite, the next closest time being obtained with Gaenial flow universal. Our study indicated that the highly viscous flow composite resins offers the shortest clinical working time out of all tested materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
